I've got 5.29s in my carbed 22R rig. 36 inch tires and the speedo reads dead on, it pulls fifth as well as it did when stock and it gets 17-20 on the highway. Works damn well on the trail too. But when it does come up against it's limitations it is usually deep mud and lack of power for the larger tires.
Mark...
I had an 80 longbox with a 215 buick V8 from a 62 buick special. All aluminum, very light. We had to meter the carb down a bit to get a nice smooth trail performance out of it. It was fun at stop lights.
I don't think anyone makes an adapter to do this, but the guy who I got it from drilled some extra holes in the buick bell housing an it bolted right up to the old 4 speed. I think the clutch was a mix of toy and buick components, but nothing to weird. It was a nice setup with tons of power for a light trail truck. I passed it on to another buddy who smoked to many Hondas at stoplights and broke the funky bell housing. I would like to see someone else reproduce this swap...
